Résumé

En 2005, un accord a été conclu à Paris entre un grand nombre de pays donateurs, des bailleurs de fonds et des pays bénéficiaires sur la manière de rendre l’aide plus efficace. Ce nouvel accord, appelé la Déclaration de Paris, si elle est correctement mise en œuvre, peut amener les pays bénéficiaires à s’approprier davantage leurs programmes. L’accord en soi n’est pas une nouveauté. Il contient des éléments qui ont fait l’objet de discussions depuis les années 1970 et convenus à plusieurs reprises. La nouveauté est qu’un certain nombre de pays bénéficiaires ont été actifs dans l’élaboration des concepts sous-jacents, et qu’il existe une opportunité, pour ceux qui peuvent en profiter, de saisir l’initiative dans le dialogue sur le développement. Cet article défend que cet accord ne conduira pas à des améliorations automatiques, mais qu’il nécessitera la partici- pation active des pays d’accueil.

Can Africa Make Use of the New Aid Architecture?

In 2005, an agreement was reached in Paris between a large number of donor countries and institutions and recipient countries on how to make aid more efficient. This new agreement, called the Paris Declaration, if it is handled rightly, can open up increased ownership of their development agenda for the recipient countries. The agreement is in itself nothing new – it contains ingredients that had been discussed since the 1970s and agreed upon a number of times. The newness is that a number of recipient countries were active in developing the underlying concepts and that there is the opportunity, for those who can take it, of seizing the initiative in the development dialogue. This article argues that the agreement will not lead to automatic improvement but will require the active participation of the host countries.
